Something Totally New!

Dr. Adam G. Riess is a Professor of astronomy and physics at the Johns Hopkins University and a member of the Committee of Science at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. He proposed a series of discoveries in the field of cosmology. So in the year 2011 was awarded with the Nobel. Together with his team, they showed that the universe is expanding at one ever increasing speed. The universe is huge and full of galaxies, so it seems to be static, but it is not. The separation of galaxies ever increases more and more. His research includes measurements of the cosmological framework with supernovae. These measures, showed an improvement in the ability to distinguish between a dark energy constant, dynamic static and cosmological.

Expected that the universe downturn under the gravity brake applied by its own mass, so this was a huge surprise. An amazing reason was because the attraction of all the matter in the universe should act as a retainer natural expansion. Therefore, the rate of growth of the universe should be decelerating. There are three possible reasons given by Dr. Riess: power vacuum, dynamic dark energy and relative gravity, showing the otherwise in Einstein's theory. What began to ask different questions, how old are the universe and the Earth.

                In the end, it seems to me that there is still much to discover. This was a step forward in science, but this is a too varied range and great discoveries still wait. I thought it was a very interesting conference and was a privilege for us as a University  that Dr. Riess exposed the research with us. All of this for me is something new, so I learned the main reason for the conference: the universe is expanding, totally new concepts to my knowledge and the photos that he showed. On the other hand, it is interesting to see how as the years pass still continue questioning theories such as the Einstein, but it is as Dr. Adam Riess  mentioned in the presentation: "If Einstein was wrong, why not us?" I think that all of us should be like the universe. We must continue to expand our knowledge and discover new galaxies which in this case would be our future experiences. These experiences will lead us to discover more about our internal and external journey. Let's investigate!
